BATH OR BAbl'N WASTE.

T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Haney M. Wnavnn, a resident of Mansfield, in thecounty of Richland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Bath or Basin Wastes and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in bath and basin wastes, and moreparticularly to improved means for operating the ball lever of improvedwaste disclosed in my prior patents, the improvements permitting the useof the waste upon that class of lavatory basins which from their limitedareas would practically preclude placing the operating device upon theflat part of the lavatory and this improvement permits perfectadjustment of parts to suit conditions as they are found, and theconstruction is extremely simple, strong and durable and does notdisfigure the lavatory in the slightest.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations and arrangements ofparts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in theclaims.

I In the accompanying drawmgs, Figure 1 is a view in vertical sectionillustrating my improvements. Figs. 2 and 3 are views of details ofconstruction and Figs. 4 and 5 are views of modifications.

1 represents an ordinary enameled iron lavatory and 2 my improved wastesecured thereto and in which the plug valve 3 is moved up and down bythe ball lever 4. In an opening in the back or splash portion of thelavatory 1, a threaded sleeve 5 is clamped by a nut 6, screwed thereonand against the back of the splash and a thumb lever 7 is pivotallysecured between its ends in this sleeve or bearing 5, the forward end ofthe lever projecting out far enough to permit its easy operation to openand close the plug valve as. will more fully hereinafter appear. A block8 is pivotally secured to the inner end of lever 7, and is made with ascrewthreaded opening, to receive the screwthreaded upper end of a rod9. The lower end of the rod 9 is pivotally attached to the outer end oflever 4, after it has been properly adjusted, and it will be seen thatthis rod can be adjusted in block 8 to fit any Specification of LettersPatent.

Iarrangement of parts but when pivotally i secured to the ball lever therod cannot turn i to accidentally change the adjustment once 5ierfccted.

In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the upper end of rod 9 is pivotallysecured to the lever 7 and the lower end of the rod is adjustablyclamped in a block 10 pivoted to the lever 4-, a set screw 11 beingemployed to clamp the red at any position of adjustment in the block 10.

In Fig. 5 my improvements are shown applied to an ordinary push knob,adjustment of the rod being had, as shown in figures, namely by a screwclamp at the juncture of the rod with the ball lever.

Other changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of partsdescribed, without departing from my invention, and hence, I do notrestrict myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself atliberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fallwithin the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters- Patent is 1. The combination with a lavatory, of awaste plug or valve, a lever attached to said valve for operating thesame, a thumb lever extending through and pivotally mounted in the backof the lavatory to move in a vertical plane, a rod connecting the thumblever and waste plug operating lever, and means for adjusting theconnection of said rod with one of said lovers.

2. The combination with a lavatory, a waste valve or plug, and a balllever con nected with the same, of a thumb lever pivotally supportedbetween its ends in the back of the lavatory to move in a verticalplane, a rod pivotally attached to the ball lever, and an adjustableconnection between said rod and the outer arm of the thumb lever.

3. The combination with a lavatory having a wall projecting above thebasin portion, and a waste valve in the basin portion of a thumb leverpivotally mounted in the upwardly projecting wall, a lever attached tothe valve for operating the same, a rod connecting said levers, andmeans for adjustably securing said rod to one of said levers.

4. The combination with a lavatory, a waste valve, and a lever connectedwith said waste valve, of a sleeve mounted in a wall one of said levers,and a rod adjustably secured to said block and pivotally attached to theother lever.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
